Now until the End
Rejoining the North Downs Way at Boughton Lees on 27/01/2026, I set off towards Canterbury enjoying the quiet peace of Kings Wood, the artistic rest point of the Coppice Oratory and wide views across the Stour Valley from Godmersham Park.
After pausing my journey due to darkness, I return to the trail near Chartham Hatch on 09/02/2026, arriving at the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral, another memorable highlight on this enjoyable pilgrimage route.
Heading off from Oxted, Surrey on 11/08/2025 along the North Downs Way I express my expectations and goals for my latest expedition. Passing the Coccolith artwork, I share a beautiful panoramic view, sight Chevening House and a herd of wild deer, before settling down for the night on the outskirts of Otford.
The following day, I reflect on my wild camping experience, the importance of pausing and enjoy the journey mindfully rather than just rushing to chalk off the miles and reach the destination. As I ramble on, I contrite about a recent incident with my son.
Sharing more images from the trail and a panaromic vista from Trottiscliffe, I provide commentary from the neolithic site – Coldrum Long Barrow, before arriving at a quiet spot outside Cuxton to sleep at dusk. As I leave in the mist the next morning, I reflect and look forward to the next stage of this enjoyable pilgrimage.
Leaving Farnham on 25/06/2025 I start the long distance walking trail the ‘North Downs Way’.
Heading through countryside and woodland I reflect on pilgrimage and my reasons for the trek, taking in the sites along the way. As well as updating on my wild camping escapades I marvel at the views from St Martha’s Church, refresh in the River Mole at Dorking and delight at the Millennium Stones in Gatton Park.
The video concludes with my arrival at Oxted on 27/06/2025 where I reflect on my pilgrimage experience so far.
Leaving Littlebourne on 11/11/2022 following the Royal Saxon Way I appreciate the open space around me and the peacefulness of the Little Stour river. I conclude my pilgrimage with an abrupt arrival in Minster making it for the bus in the nick of time.
Taking a walk on 09/11/22 along the Royal Saxon Way through the Elham Valley, Kent from Breach I enjoy the nature and woodland trail. Whilst I walk I speculate about the forthcoming recession, the prospect of Universal Basic Income before arriving in Bridge in time for the bus.
Walking from Folkestone on 30/09/22 I embark on a new pilgrimage route, the ‘Royal Saxon Way’ with a final destination of Minster, near Ramsgate, Kent.
Taking in the peaceful promenade to the panoramic view of Tolsford Hill onto the day’s end point of Lyminge, I update my feelings about the Queen’s passing, the fall in value of the British pound and the concerning gas leak of Nordstream 2.
NB: At 02:52 I mention the route originates from the ‘Creative Pilgrims’ group, unfortunately I confused this with the nascent Way of Saint Martin; instead this route originates from a collaboration between Kent County Council and Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Beauty. My sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Setting off for the last two days of the Augustine Camino I commentate at different points of my journey. Walking through the woods & fields leaving Canterbury and Stodmarsh Nature Reserve I reflect on nature, mental health and pilgrimage before arriving at Preston and setting down for the evening.
During a walk along the path of the Augustine Camino from Thurnham to Faversham on 17/04/2022 I comment upon the situation in Russia, Elon Musk’s interest in buying Twitter whilst enjoying the Kentish countryside.
During a walk with my son Edison at Brockhill Country Park, Saltwood, Kent on 15/01/2022 I talk about how the world feels closer to normality after announcements that the Omicron variant is less damaging than was initially feared a few months ago.
Whilst I ramble about personal items, my son Edison explores nature; finding a stream, waterfall, camp and a woodland ‘cave’.
During a walk on the Augustine Camino on 30/12/2021 from Aylesford to Thurnham I ponder the concept of pilgrimage, reflect on the last year and state my areas of focus for 2022.
